Minnesota Timberwolves rookie guard Jarrett Culver recorded a career-high 21 points on Monday night in a 122-115 overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Culver topped his previous career-high of 20 set on Nov. 2 after converting on 8-of-21 from the field, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range, while he added five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block.

The first-round pick had cooled off with the Timberwolves over the past couple of weeks, totaling just 26 points over his last eight games, but bounced back in a big way on Monday. He scored nine of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to help the Timberwolves force OT.

While Culver only shot 38.1% from the field during the game, the sixth overall pick played with confidence throughout the night and it showed in his final stat line.

Culver had had an up and down rookie campaign thus far but he flashed his two-way potential on Monday and gave a glimpse at why the Timberwolves nabbed him in the lottery.

The Timberwolves play next on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
